The Scoole trademark is a trademark distributed on the territory of Russia. Abroad, the brand is not represented at all or is represented insignificantly, mainly in the countries that were part of the Soviet Union.
The attitude towards air washes, a fashionable trend, is rather wary. This is a device for humidifying and purifying the air ... Some experts are inclined to believe that the main purpose of the device is to increase sales.
The company that owns the Scoole brand cannot be found. There is officially a general distributor of the Scoole trademark in Russia - STC Holding (S. Holding). For all service issues, the general service partner is Avangard Holgo. Both companies have a Moscow residence and a small staff (the distributor has less than 200). In all likelihood, the entire product line of the brand is developed within these companies.
The companies do not have their own production facilities at which it would be possible to manufacture products on an industrial scale. Manufacturing is placed on order at Chinese factories. It is possible that Chinese partners are also engaged in the development of models, gluing brand nameplates on their own products by agreement. Due to the very low cost of production, it can be assumed that the participation of Russian partners is reduced only to the organization of sales and after-sales service. There is hardly any serious quality control on their part.
Main manufactured air conditioning systems
- Scoole SC AC PM (one model) and Scoole AC PE (two models). Two series of mobile air conditioners differing in design and power. Serviced area - from 17 to 26 sq.m. The PM series is not a console, the PE series includes a console. The devices operate in cooling, dehumidification and ventilation modes. Operating temperature range +17 - + 32 ° С. All models have a night mode, characterized by a reduced fan speed and a lower noise level. Sound pressure up to 57 dB - high enough;
- Scoole SPI... Another name for the series Eco Inverter... Launched in production since 2017. The range of the lower operating temperatures of the outside air has been expanded to -15 ° C. Recommended volumes (area with standard ceilings) - from 20 to 70 sq.m. Built-in air ionizer. Noise level (indoor unit) - from 24 to 40 dB. Compressor control circuit - inverter;
- Scoole SP... Another name for the series AirMix... Classic split system. One of the first models for cheekbones. The area of the refrigerated room is from 20 to 70 sq.m. Four standard operating modes - cooling, heater, dehumidification, ventilation. There is a turbo mode - for accelerated cooling of the room.Noise level - from 31 to 47 dB;
- Scoole SP6... Other name - Air Leader... Series 2017. Classic, non-inverter control circuit. The area of the refrigerated premises is from 20 to 70 sq.m. The noise level is from 31 to 47 dB. The lower limit of operating temperatures is -7 ° C. The kit includes a remote control for the air conditioner. Additional features and options for expansion are not provided.
A feature of the climatic technology is simplicity, the absence of a large number of functions. Because of this, the control is very simple, without complicated setting of modes and programming. This approach was deliberately chosen (the company's slogan is "nothing more").
Comparative characteristics of popular models
Below is a comparative description of several models of wall-mounted air conditioning systems. Within the series, there are models that differ from the main line. The table shows the latest model - improved in the SP5 series line. Improvements usually concern one or more characteristics without affecting the basic configuration. The price for such models is higher. Air conditioner repair with improvements is no different - most of the spare parts are compatible.
| Model | SC AC SP5 07 | SC AC SPI1 09 | SCA 07H RL1UF3 |
| Power consumption (cooling / heating), W. | 657/681 | 825/747 | 657/681 |
| Cooling area, sq.m. | 20 | 25 | 20 |
| Operating temperature range during cooling, ºС | +18 – +43 | +18 – +43 | +1 – +43 |
| Lower limit of operating temperatures during heating, ºС | -7 | -15 – +30 | -7 |
| Indoor unit noise level, dB | 31 — 35 | 24 — 33 | 35 |
| Block weight (indoor / outdoor), kg | 6,3/21,4 | 7/26 | 6,3/19 |
| Refrigerant type | R410A | R410A | R410A |
| Estimated cost, rub. | 9 000 – 12 500 | 17 000 – 18 000 | 14 000 – 16 500 |
In general, the parameters of different series of the company's equipment do not differ so much. This technique is recommended for not particularly demanding users. Checking this technique for endurance, rubbing coatings for wear resistance, etc. is not recommended. You can buy it to complete basic tasks without frills. The manufacturer guarantees the basic operating modes by simplifying the equipment.
Instructions for Scoole control panel and air conditioners
The delivery set includes instructions for air conditioners. The instruction is as short and simple as the devices themselves, which are not particularly complex. Air conditioner error codes and a remote control manual have been added to the descriptions of wall-mounted split systems.
Installing an air conditioner is no different from installing similar equipment from any other manufacturer. You can watch the video of the recommended installation on the Internet or get advice directly during the purchase from a specialist in the store. The operating modes are set from the remote control very simply - intuitive selection and status display.
Scoole air conditioner error codes
Since the company, most likely, is not engaged in any serious study of the technical aspects of the equipment sold, it is expected that the self-diagnostic systems are typified. All split systems have self-diagnosis functions that give error codes to the display of the remote control.
Some of the codes are described in the instruction manual. Also, a situation may arise when the displayed code does not coincide with the malfunction described under this number from other manufacturers (for example, found independently on the Internet). To avoid breakdowns, it is recommended to contact specialized service centers, and not engage in self-troubleshooting.
Although the company simplified the equipment, the equipment still belongs to the class of complex technical systems. The self-diagnosis subsystem in such devices consists in installing various sensors in critical nodes. Based on the indicators of both one sensor and their combination, the alleged problem is induced. The more sensors, the more accurate the diagnostics. The more complex the system, the more different sensors are required. With a general reduction in cost, the accuracy and reliability of the self-diagnosis system deteriorates. Various external factors begin to influence it more (power outages, temperature drops, humidity, etc.)
It is recommended that you make sure that the error is not caused by an accidental failure before calling the service department. To do this, it is enough to disconnect the device from the power supply and after a while turn it on again. If the error persists, contact the service. Warning: If the error occurs again, it is also better to consult with specialists, and not "eliminate" it in this way.
User reviews
Reviews of Scoole conditioners are friendly. For such a low price, users get a good no-frills workhorse. There are no comments in the reviews claiming the lack of any features. Since the cost and offer were originally only about use in the simplest form.
The concept of simplification and strict classical design without any frills, elegant, pretentious shapes and colors.
The efficiency itself is not satisfactory. The air conditioner works stably in all modes. The noise level is also satisfactory, with the exception of mobile versions. But mobile versions of all manufacturers are noisy. Some users report loud work. But in these cases it is necessary to understand - perhaps individual intolerances or a particular specimen has defects. In the event of defects, the equipment can be replaced under warranty.
At the very beginning of operation, the equipment may emit small extraneous noises. This is due to the fact that new parts are rubbed in. Still, this is not the most expensive air conditioner assembled and manufactured in China. But the noises pass quickly.
Confused by a small warranty - 1 year for all equipment. But claims for quick wear and tear and failure after the end of the warranty period have not been identified.
To summarize, we can state that Scoole air conditioning systems are a workhorse at a low cost.
